Starbucks and the Sounders FC are honoring active service members and veterans with complimentary tickets for the Sounders FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC match on August 1st at CenturyLink Field.

This ticket give-away is one of many ways Starbucks pays tribute to military service. Starbucks is also creating opportunity for veterans and military spouses as they transition from military service to civilian careers. Starbucks is committed to hiring at least 10,000 veterans and military spouses by the end of 2018.
